Cash $300,000 Short-term investments 400,000 Accounts receivable 900,000 Total operating expenses 640,000 Depreciation expense 140,000 a. $1,600,000 b. $500,000 c. $300,000 d. $700,000

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Cash = $300,000

Short-term investments = 400,000

Accounts receivable = 900,000

Total operating expenses = 640,000

Depreciation expense = 140,000

The numerator part in the formula of days' cash on hand is cash and cash equivalents available.

Cash and cash equivalents available:

= Cash + Short term investments

= $300,000 + $400,000

= $700,000
